WATCH This KLM Boeing Land In ‘Code Red’ Gale Force Winds [Video]

A KLM pilot demonstrated some nerves of steel when he managed to safely land a hefty boeing 777 whilst battling gale force winds

If you’re a nervous flyer you might want to skip this video – passengers aboard a KLM flight had a pretty hairy time of it when their plane was forced to land at Amsterdam airport amidst “code red” conditions. As Stuff reports:

With gusts of up to 121 kmh in coastal regions, it was the most violent July storm in the Netherlands since records began in 1901.

I hope the crew had some motion sickness pills to hand out, as the huge 777 can be seen swinging from side to side as it tries to get wheels down.

Queasy.
